SOLIDTEKNICS has developed two ranges of innovative world-first cookware: AUS-ION™ wrought iron (formed low-carbon steel), and nöni™ ferritic wrought stainless cookware. All are made in Australia, all are non-toxic, healthy, sustainable, and multi-century durable.

AUS-ION™ and nöni™ are both world-first seamless 1-piece wrought pans, with patents pending.

Ideally, every cook interested in healthy, non-toxic, and sustainable cooking would have a mixture of iron and stainless pans in the kitchen, because each has its strengths for different types of cooking:

Perfect for all everyday oil/fat based frying, grilling, etc, our natural clean AUS-ION™ Australian wrought iron cooks and seasons like all bare cast iron cookware, but is half the weight of cast iron. Seasoned iron is the only known non-toxic and forever-renewable nonstick. All other nonsticks are made with toxic and/or disposable synthetic coatings.

30cm AUS-ION™ RAW ‘workhouse’ Chef’s Skillet, 3mm Australian wrought iron, made in Australia in a patented single piece construction. Raw finish, wax coated, ready for seasoning. A large, versatile skillet that will never need replacing. Induction compatible and tough enough for any oven (except microwaves), any cooktop and open flame. Each pan is engraved with the month and year of manufacture for heirloom collectibility.

Our new AUS-ION™ RAWsurface aims to reduce costs by eliminating the expensive Satin finishing and seasoning operations of our existing and immensely successful AUS-ION ‘Satin’ range, in order to offer a lower-priced option for our loyal customers. Ultimately both surface finishes (‘Satin’ & RAW)will end up in the same place with the correct care and lots of cooking. Aside from the surface finish and price, the two ranges are identical in every other way.

Background: We originally launched our AUS-ION™ pans in smooth pre-seasoned surface finish in 2015, and they were an immediate success. A year later we re-introduced them with a more expensive ‘Satin’ surface finish with pre-seasoning, and they just kept growing in popularity. The Satin finish made seasoning easier for all the cooks who were new to real iron pans in Australia (the rough surface grips seasoning better when the pan is new, making them easier for inexperienced seasoners - you can find AUS-ION™ ‘Satin’ pans in other sections of our store). RAW will take a little more time and seasoning effort initially, but will end up in the same wonderful place forever more.

We hope our AUS-ION™ RAW rangehelps many more new cooks afford our healthy and sustainable multi-generation cookware. We also hope our current supporters can more affordably give the gift of heirloom wrought iron to the cooks they love.

What is this seasoning you speak of?

If you are new to iron cookware seasoning is basically ‘build your own’ natural non-stick and it is the reason why bare iron cookware can become non-stick without toxic and/or disposable synthetic coatings. It involves a process called polymerisation whereby oil and fat is transformed by heat and bonds to the iron, creating a non-toxic natural non-stick surface that you build and maintain yourself over time. A well seasoned pan is black and very low stick. If you cook with fats and oils and wash carefully, this natural non-stick will keep renewing for many lifetimes.

Natural seasoning is healthy, non-toxic and forever renewable. Discover how easy it is to build-your-own healthy, non-stick and forever-renewableAUS-ION™ cooking surface here and never replace a non-stick pan again!

AUS-ION™ ‘Satin’ and RAW wrought iron (low-carbon steel) cookware, and nöni™ ferritic stainless steel cookware are the only three production cookware ranges made in Australia, and all are made by SOLIDTEKNICS. All three ranges are non-toxic, healthy, sustainable, and multi-century durable. AUS-ION™ and nöni™ are also World-first seamless, rivet-free, 1-piece wrought pans, with patents pending.

Ideally, every cook interested in healthy, non-toxic, and sustainable cooking will have a mixture of iron and stainless steel pans in the kitchen, because each has its strengths for different types of cooking:

1. AUS-ION™ Australian-made wrought iron professional cookware is perfect for everyday oil/fat based frying, grilling, etc. AUS-ION™ cooks and seasons like all bare cast iron cookware, but is half the weight. Seasoned iron is the only known non-toxic and forever-renewable non-stick. All other non-stick cookware is made with toxic and/or disposable synthetic coatings.

Both ranges are designed to work together as a complete set of complementary pans, on any heat source.
